Information About

Furinkan




Furinkan in Ranma ½ is a community in Nerima , Tokyo , Japan . It was created by famed Manga artist Rumiko Takahashi for her series Ranma ½. The name means "wind forest hall."

All of the main characters live in Furinkan, and most attend the Eponymous local high school which is under the dark fist of Principal Kuno . The town has several mysterious curio and antique shops, as well as restaurants such as Ucchan's Okonomiyaki shop, and Shampoo's Neko Hanten (Cat Cafe), serving Chinese Food . Many Dojos are based in Furinkan, most notably the Tendo Dojo, home of the Tendo School of Anything Goes Martial Arts (also translated as Tendo School of Indiscriminate Grappling).

Furinkan is likely located near Tomobiki , which is also in Nerima, and whose characters have sometimes been spotted in Ranma ½ episodes.

Although Furinkan is a fictional community, some scenes in the manga have been shown to have been modeled on actual places in Nerima Ward's suburb of Shakuji-koen.
